TimVideos.us is a group of open
source projects that facilitate the recording and live streaming of
talks at conferences and user groups. HDMI2USB
project is a sub-project that has long out-grown
its original name – think of it more as a general video-to-stream
conversion FPGA codebase whose capabilities morph depending upon the
ports available in the target hardware. As a result, the FPGA codebase
has the ability to take in HDMI, DVI, or DisplayPort and turn it into
USB, Ethernet, and now with the NeTV2, PCI-express. Find out more
about Tim’s projects by watching his talk at Teardown
2018.

There’s a wonderful back story behind this collaboration. Apparently,
Tim got into doing FPGA designs with video in part due to the original
NeTV that I released several years back as open source hardware. He
developed the fantastic HDMI2USB infrastructure, spawned dev boards,
and helped to mature the LiteX build
framework. I then
adopted migen/LiteX and a large portion of the HDMI2USB firmware for
the NeTV2. And now, because I’ve adopted the frameworks he’s built, he
can readily adopt the new hardware I’m building as a target for his
application, unlocking a whole new user community for the NeTV2. This
is a rich example of the powerful outcomes enabled by
community-oriented development.

Speaking of which, we’re looking for a couple developers to help get
data from the water’s edge of NeTV2 and into the rest of Linux. In
particular, we could use someone to help build the encoding pipelines
on the host CPU side once the video has made it across the PCI-express
bus, perhaps using Gstreamer/V4l2. We’re also looking for someone who
can implement the right driver for moving data directly between the
GPU and NeTV2. Such a driver might use KMS and DMA-BUF/PRIME, but
perhaps there are more efficient methods available. I’m more than
happy to provide free early access hardware in exchange for git
commits!

If you happen to know someone who’s willing to help, give either
@bunniestudios or
@mithro a shout on Twitter.

NeTV2 - Just the Board

Just the NeTV2 open video development board plus a 12V power
supply. For the power developer who has their own JTAG box or the
hobbyist who enjoys spending an afternoon provisioning a Raspberry Pi
with the NeTV2 dev tools.

NeTV2 Quickstart Package

For developers and users who want to skip the screwdrivers and go
straight to a SSH prompt. The Quickstart Package is a turnkey solution for
open video, optimized for video overlay. It's an NeTV2 dev board
bundled with a Raspberry Pi 3 B+, 8 GiB SD card with pre-loaded base
firmware package, power supply, and our custom HDMI Jumper, all
assembled into a case and fully tested. Ready for you to SSH in and
load your application code!

100T NeTV2 Quickstart Package - Limited

This is a limited-availability configuration of the Quickstart Package that has the super-beefy 100T FPGA (a $170+ value) rather than the 35T. This gives you about a 3x boost in logic and RAM capacity - plenty of power for even machine learning/artificial intelligence implementations.

NeTV2 - Just the Case

All the plastic parts necessary to protect and mount your NeTV2 dev
board: case top and bottom, front bezel, light pipes, standoffs, and
screws. If you plan to mate this with your own Raspberry Pi as a video
source, you'll also want to get the Custom HDMI Jumper.

Thermal Management Kit

Keep your NeTV2 cool with this thermal management kit that includes 30 mm fan with pre-crimped cable, mounting bracket, and a set of screws for attaching the fan to the bracket, and the bracket to the Peek Array in the NeTV2 enclosure.

Custom HDMI Jumper

Even the shortest HDMI cables don't quite fit inside the NeTV2 case,
so we built a custom PCB that provides impedance-controlled
differential pairs to bridge between the Raspberry Pi overlay video
source and the NeTV2 open video dev board. Make sure to select the
correct FPGA image when using this cable, as it leverages the
pinout flexibility of the FPGA to optimize signal routing.
